Looking for people eating low GL, I'm interested to hear if you've had any success with it. If so how much have you lost and how many GL's do you eat a day? Thanks in advance :smile:

    Low GL is a different idea than Low GI. "The glycemic load (GL) is a ranking system for carbohydrate content in food portions based on their glycemic index (GI) and the portion size. Glycemic load or GL combines both the quality and quantity of carbohydrate in one ‘number’. It’s the best way to predict blood glucose values of different types and amounts of food. The formula is: GL = (GI x the amount of available carbohydrate) divided by 100."

    Yes, I have just read about GL and find it interesting...I have been eating low GI food as much as posible for the past 3 weeks and have started to see some weight loss although it is a longer, slower way to lose it. The website I found out about it is www.eatforkeeps.com but I didn't realise there was a certain number that you had to stick to.
